Taking to Instagram on Tuesday night, she opened up about the emergency which took place two years ago.
A post shared by Lucy-Jo Hudson (@lucyjo_hudson)
The ITV actress said on Instagram: "Two years ago I was rushed into A&E, I was constantly exhausted, running on empty, struggling to breathe, low mood, really struggling in my overall mental and physical health, and I just put it down to the fast pace of 'life'.
"Because in today's world, you're expected to be able to juggle it all right? And the daily stresses of being a working mum, and spinning a million plates is blumming stressful….. but what I didn't realise is that the reason I was feeling all of this is because I had an underlying health issue…. 'Chronic Anaemia'"
The Coronation Street star, who played the role of Katy Harris from 2002 until 2005, according to IMDb, added that this "meant I was in desperate need of a blood transfusion (hence why I got rushed to hospital).

"It turned out that my haemoglobin levels were so dangerously low I needed two transfusions, and I was kept in hospital for a few days so they could keep an eye on my levels.
"The staff at Salford Royal Hospital were amazing, I really felt I was in the best hands, especially Dr Rob Jackson, he was unbelievable and I'll always be so grateful to him and his team in the A&E department.
"So I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to each and every one of you who donate blood! What you do is truly amazing."
